T being evident, from a steady decHneOf-a proper 
'^^WT'^^ celebration of the National Holidays of the 

h^rMk^y United States of America, that popular concern 

in the events and men of the War of the 
Revolution is gradually declining, and that 
such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse 
of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from 
foreign countries, as to the neglect, on the part of descendants 
of Revolutionary heroes, to perform their duty in keeping before 
the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors 
and of the times in which they lived; therefore, the Society of 
the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate 
the memory of the men, who, in the military, naval, and civil 
service of the Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by 
their acts or counsel, achieved the Independence of the country, 
and to further the proper celebration of the anniversaries of 
the birthday of Washington, and of prominent events connected 
with the War of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for 
preservation the rolls, records, and other documents relating to 
that period ; to inspire the members of the Society with the 
patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote the feeling 
of friendship among them. 




Ilntrobuction, 



¥¥ 



WITH the dawn of 1876, after a long slumber, public interest 
was awakened to the memories of the Revolutionary- 
struggles for independence — in the country at large by 
the projected Centennial celebration in the City of Philadelphia, 
and in the City of New York by the arrangements for the cele- 
bration of the hundredth anniversary of the battle of Harlem. 

Mr. John Austin Stevens, for some time librarian of the New 
York Historical Society, and well known as a historical writer, 
recognizing this feeling, in the month of January, 1876, formu- 
lated a plan for an organization with the name " Sons of the 
Revolution," whose purposes were : first, to revive and main- 
tain the American spirit of our forefathers ; second, to promote 
the collection and preservation of historical papers of the Revo- 
lutionary period. 

The Society was thus organized, but lack of public interest 
held it dormant for several years until in the progression of 
Centennial anniversaries which ensued the American spirit was 
aroused and pride in Revolutionary ancestry was openly avowed. 

On December 4, 1883, the one hundredth anniversary of 
Washington's farewell to his officers was celebrated by a din- 
ner at Fraunces' Tavern, New York City, and there, in the very 
" Long Room" where occurred that touching scene, the plan of 
the proposed Society was submitted, and on the following New 
Year's eve, on the same spot, it was agreed to, signed, and a 
permanent organization effected. 

In the latter part of the year 1887, the existence of such an 
organization became known to Mr. John Woolf Jordan, Assistant 
Librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, whereupon 

2 9 



lo ITntroDuctlon. 



he entered into correspondence with the Secretary of the State 
Society in New York, which resulted in a meeting on April 3, 
1888, in the office of Dr. Herman Burgin, 1429 Market Street, 
Philadelphia, of descendants of participants in the Revolutionary 
War, when the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolu- 
tion was organized by the fifteen members who constitute the 
"Founders" of the Society. On April 19 following, the first 
permanent officers were elected, and on May 4 the Society 
adopted a constitution and by-laws and the same day the Board 
of Managers met and organized for the first time. 

The Pennsylvania Society was from the beginning designed 
to be a perpetual organization, and recognizing this, its founders 
wisely provided for the incorporation of the Society and the 
creation of a permanent fund. A charter was obtained September 
29, 1890, and the permanent fund at this time amounts to 
;gi 1,772.34. 

The adoption of an insignium early engaged the attention of the 
Pennsylvania Society, and in October, 1888, a committee consist- 
ing of Col. Oliver Christian Bosbyshell, Mr, John Woolf Jordan, 
and Dr. Herman Burgin was appointed to secure designs, with 
instructions to consider those submitted by Major L'Enfant to the 
Society of the Cincinnati in 1783. Finally, on January 14, 1889, 
the present design was accepted, and subsequently adopted by 
the New York Society, and since by the General Society as the 
insignium of the " Sons of the Revolution." During the same 
year committees were appointed to consider designs for a rosette 
and of a Certificate of Membership ; on November 1 1 the rosette 
of the New York Society was accepted and has since been 
adopted by the General Society ; action with reference to a Cer- 
tificate of Membership was deferred from time to time pending 
the formation of a General Society, when the present design was 
adopted. 

In the early part of 1889 a disaffected element in the New 
York Society formed a new organization, similar in name to our 
own, with objects and purposes almost identical, but claiming for 
it a National existence. Repeated efforts have been made to 
amalgamate these two organizations under a new constitution,

but the Pennsylvania Society, conservative in its opinions, honor- 
ing its traditions, and loyal to its constitution, has seen no reason 
why it should abandon the original Society for a new one, or in 
any way change any of its conditions. 

The movement towards the formation of a General Society 
was inaugurated early in 1889, and the present constitution, 
drafted by the Hon. Clifford Stanley Sims, D.C.L., of this Society, 
was agreed upon at a conference of delegates from the New 
York, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia Societies, held in 
Philadelphia, February 12, 1890, and the same was ratified by 
the Pennsylvania Society, June 11, 1890. 

An early act of the Board of Managers was to provide for an 
annual banquet, and October 4, the anniversary of the battle of 
Germantown, was selected for the occasion, but it was found that 
the absence of many of the members at this season of the year 
made this date undesirable, and December 19, the anniversary of 
the beginning of the encampment at Valley Forge, was substi- 
tuted. Several banquets have been given upon this date, in 
addition to those given the general officers and delegates attend- 
ing the General Society meetings held with the Pennsylvania 
Society, April 4, 1891, and April 19, 1897. The opinion pre- 
vailing, however, that informal receptions would better promote 
the feeling of friendship among the members, these too have been 
held annually since the formation of the Society. 

On November 11, 1889, Mr. Elon Dunbar Lockwood pre- 
sented a resolution to the Board of Managers providing for the 
appointment of a committee to examine into the expediency of 
marking, by guide-posts, the roads in the vicinity of Philadelphia 
over which the American Army marched, and places where it 
encamped, or which were otherwise made historic in connection 
with the War of Independence; this was the initial movement 
towards marking historic sites, since so successfully carried out 
by the Society. 

On March 20, 1890, the committee recommended the erection 
of suitable tablets at Swedes Ford Road, near Centreville, to 
mark the location of General Wayne's headquarters in 1777-1778, 
and at Germantown, on the spot where General Nash was mor-

tally wounded ; the latter project was, however, temporarily aban- 
doned, and a stone to mark the site of General Howe's threatened 
attack near Fort Washington was recommended. These tablets 
were soon afterwards erected, and on October 17, 1891, they were 
viewed by members of the Society and its invited guests, in a trip 
covering the historic ground between Paoli and Valley Forge. 

On June 19, 1893, the Society dedicated the monument erected 
at Gulph Mill to mark the locality where the main Continental 
Army encamped, December 13-19, 1777, before going into winter 
quarters at Valley Forge. This monument, a huge natural 
boulder, properly inscribed, is the gift to the Society of Mr. 
Joseph E. Gillingham, of Philadelphia, and the site was donated 
for the purpose by Mr. Henderson Supplee. 

The encampment of Washington's army, August 1-8, and 
September 12-14, 1777, immediately before and after the battle 
of Brandywine, having been definitely located on the high ground 
between Falls of Schuylkill and Germantown, the Society erected 
a handsome granite monument to perpetuate the memory of the 
encampment, and dedicated it on November 9, 1895, Upon both 
occasions the late Mr. William Spohn Baker delivered an his- 
torical address. 

A mural tablet to the memory of Captain William Shippin, 
who was killed in the battle of Princeton, was unveiled upon the 
anniversary of his death, January 3, 1896, in St. Peter's P. E. 
Church, Philadelphia (in whose graveyard, adjoining, his body 
was buried), when the Rev. George Woolsey Hodge, Chaplain 
of the Society, preached the dedicatory sermon. 

In 1897, two bronze tablets to mark historic locations were 
erected by the Society, One marks the location of the house in 
Philadelphia occupied by Washington as the presidential mansion, 
from November 27, 1790, to March 4, 1797, and was placed 
without ceremony upon the site. No. 528 Market Street, May 8, 
1897. Another, erected on Colonial Hall of the Young Ladies' 
Seminary and College for Women, Bethlehem, Penna., is in mem- 
ory of the soldiers of the Continental army who suffered and died 
in that building, which was used as a military hospital from De- 
cember, 1776, to April, 1777, and September, 1777, to April, 1778. 



1Introt)i\ction, 13 



A number of these memorials were designed by Mr. Washington 
Bleddyn Powell, a member of the Committee on Monuments and 
Memorials. 

By ordinance of Councils, passed June i8, 1894, the City of 
Philadelphia donated to this Society the cannon along Water 
Street and Delaware Avenue, for the purpose of placing the same 
from time to time around its monuments. 

On January 23, 1890, a paper was read before the Society by 
Dr. William Henry Egle, on " The Associators, the forerunner of 
the Pennsylvania Line;" and on November 10, one by Major 
Richard Strader Collum, U. S. M. C, on " The Services of the 
Marines during the Revolution." 

A communication from Mr, George Cuthbert Gillespie, in 
March of 1890, suggesting the propriety of the Society holding 
special religious services annually, was favorably considered by 
the Board of Managers, and a standing committee was appointed 
to carry out the arrangements. Services were first held on the 
Sunday nearest to the anniversary of the battle of Lexington, 
but afterwards changed so as to commemorate an event of 
the Revolution connected with Pennsylvania, and the anniver- 
sary of the beginning of the encampment at Valley Forge was 
selected. These services are held alternately in the only two 
remaining church edifices of Philadelphia whose history is closely 
identified with that of the Revolution, and within whose walls 
worshipped most of the distinguished men of that period.

At the annual meeting in 1 890 ways and means for the preser- 
vation of the camp-ground at Valley Forge were discussed, and 
a committee appointed to prepare a Memorial to Congress urging 
that body to purchase it ; Congress having failed to act, a recon- 
noissance of the ground was made in the following year by 
members of this Society, and the purchase of portions of it was 
recommended. These movements and the indefatigable efforts 
of a member of this Society, Francis Mark Brooke, Esq., have 
contributed largely towards bringing to the attention of the 
public the importance of preserving this still well-defined land- 
mark of the Revolution, which is gradually being accomplished 
through a State Commission appointed for the purpose, in which 
the Society is represented by eight members. 

At the same meeting resolutions were adopted and widely 
published by the press inviting the attention of the public to old 
papers, letters, etc., in their possession, urging the care of them, 
and requesting the transmission of copies of such as relate to the 
Revolutionary War to this Society for preservation. In this 
manner much historical information has been discovered and 
preserved.

On March 9, 1891, a flag for this Society was adopted from a 
design furnished by one of its members, and on April 4 following 
the General Society adopted it as the standard of the Society. 

A resolution was passed by the Board of Managers on 
January 9, 1893, creating a Committee on Flags and authorizing 
the purchase from time to time of fac-similes of the flags used 
during- the Revolution. This collection, which now numbers 
thirteen, comprises the following :

striking a panther with a spear. Motto, " Domari Nolo." 

Since November, 1894, the Society has furnished a flag which 
is floated daily from the redoubt near its monument, at Fort 
Washington. 

The Board of Managers on May 8, 1893, endorsed a move- 
ment inaugurated by the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames 
of America to designate the fourteenth day of June as " Flag 
Day" and to observe the same by the display of the national 
flag. The Society has since annually circulated resolutions to 
this effect to the President of the United States, Governors of the 
States and Territories, various public officers, the members of 
this Society, and the press of Pennsylvania, the result of which 
has been a marked interest in and increased respect for our 
national flag. 

Twice in the history of this Society has it been its privilege 
to have charge of the ceremonies at Independence Hall to com- 
memorate the event enacted therein on July 4, 1776. 

In 1 89 1 the exercises consisted of addresses by Persifor 
Frazer, D.Sc, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, 
Mayor Edwin S. Stuart, and Vice-President Richard McCall 
Cadwalader, Esq. ; the reading of the Declaration of Indepen- 
dence by Major James Edward Carpenter, and Washington's 
Farewell Address by Theodore Minis Etting, Esq.; and Chap- 
laincy exercises by the Rev. George Woolsey Hodge and Rev. 
Samuel D. McConnell, D.D. The music was furnished by the 



Ilntrobuction. 17 



Washington Grays Band and the singing by a trained chorus of 
male and female voices. 

Again in 1895, by invitation of the city authorities and the 
arrangements by a committee of which Charles Henry Jones, 
Esq., was chairman. President William Wayne made the opening 
remarks; the Declaration of Independence was read by Russell 
Duane, Esq., and the Hon. A. Loudon Snowden, ex-minister to 
Spain, delivered the oration. Bishop Whitaker opened and 
closed the exercises with prayers ; music by the Germania Band 
and the singing of patriotic songs by the United German Singers 
added to the interest of the occasion. 

The first observance of " Evacuation Day," commemorating 
the evacuation of Philadelphia by the British, and the simul- 
taneous retirement of the American Army from Valley Forge, 
June 18, 1778, took place on June 19, 1893, by the dedication of 
the monument at Gulph Mill, and the pilgrimage to Valley 
Forge. The day has since been annually observed by an excur- 
sion to some historic location connected with the Revolutionary 
War, and aside from the interest attached to the sites thus visited, 
valuable contributions have been made to the history of the times 
in the papers which have been read upon these occasions. 

June 19, 1893. 
GULPH MILL AND VALLEY FORGE. 
"The Camp by the Old Gulph Mill," by Mr. William Spohn Baker, at the 
dedication of the memorial stone at Gulph Mill, erected to mark the position of the 
Continental Army prior to going into winter quarters at Valley Forge.

VALLEY FORGE. 
" Valley Forge, and its Surroundings in History," by Hon. Samuel Whitaker 
Pennypacker, LL.D. 

In the latter part of 1893 the Committee on Monuments and 
Memorials was instructed to procure designs and devise means 
for raising a fund for a monument in Philadelphia to Major- 
General Anthony Wayne. At the annual meeting in 1895 in 
Independence Hall, the project was brought to the attention of 
the Society, and a committee of thirteen was appointed to pro- 
mote this patriotic object and carry the same into effect. The 
protracted illness and subsequent death of Mr. George Mecum 
Conarroe, Chairman of the Committee, and the depressed financial 
condition of the country which followed, have retarded the pro- 
gress of the work. 

The vacating by the city authorities of the rooms long occu- 
pied by them in the State House was early brought to the atten- 
tion of the Board of Managers to secure, if possible, the use of 
the upper rooms of Independence Hall. After some effort an 
ordinance of Councils, approved February 11, 1895, gave to the 
Society possession of these rooms from April 4, 1895. On April 
3 the annual meeting was held there, an address appropriate to 
the occasion was delivered by Judge Pennypacker, and a commit- 
tee was appointed to take charge of the rooms and provide ways 
and means for their restoration. Our tenure, however, was of 
short duration ; a similar privilege of occupancy was granted to 



1Intro&uction. 19 



another society, and the impracticability of both occupying the 
same place at the same time needed no demonstration, and this 
Society, on March lo, 1896, relinquished its right. Subsequent 
events have shown that a continued occupancy under the restric- 
tions imposed would have been undesirable. 

In order to stimulate the study of American history, the 
Society in 1894 founded in the University of Pennsylvania two 
prizes, of seventy-five dollars and twenty-five dollars respectively, 
to be awarded each Commencement Day to the students whose 
essays on a subject connected with the history of Pennsylvania 
during the Revolution should be adjudged worthy of the awards. 
The subjects have been : 

1895. 
both prizes. 

" The Coming of the Revolution in Pennsylvania." 

1896. 
first prize. 

"The First Pennsylvania Regiment of Infantry." 

(Second Prize not awarded.) 
1897. 

first prize. 

"The Baron Von Steuben at Valley Forge." 

second prize. 

"The Part played in the Revolution by the English, Scotch, Irish, and 

Quakers of Pennsylvania." 



first prize. 
" The Transition from Provincial to Commonwealth Government in 

Pennsylvania." 

SECOND PRIZE. 

" The Revolutionary Constitution of Pennsylvania." 

The Society has published registers of members, reports of 
the Board of Managers, sermons, historical addresses, and several 
amplified registers; the last amplified register was issued in 1893, 
the fifth year of its organization. 

Contributions have been made by the Society in furtherance 



20 llntroDuction. 



of the historical objects of other organizations : to the Historical 
Society of Pennsylvania; and to the Ephrata Monument Asso- 
ciation to aid in its purpose to complete a monument to the 
memory of the Revolutionary soldiers who died in the hospitals 
at Ephrata, Penna. 

The Society has received from various sources valuable con- 
tributions to its collections ; chiefly among these are published 
letters relating to the Revolution from Rev. Alfred Langdon 
Elwyn ; two silk flags, and a gavel made from one of the original 
joists of Independence Hall, from the late Mr. James Mifflin ; an 
autograph copy of " America" by the author, made when eighty- 
six years of age, contributed by Mr. Ethan Allen Weaver; a 
cannon-ball from the battlefield of Brandywine from Mr. Henry 
L. Bennett of Dilworthtown, Penna. ; a cannon unearthed on the 
Delaware river-front from the firm of Armstrong and Printzen- 
hoff ; a gavel made from a tree which grew within the cellar walls 
of the house in which Washington was born, in Westmoreland 
Co., Va., by Mr. William J. Crawford of Buffalo, N. Y. ; a portrait 
of Washington by Lambdin after Stuart, purchased by the So- 
ciety; various historical publications by purchase, and by dona- 
tions from Miss Mary S. Clark, Mr. John Woolf Jordan, Mr. 
William Augustus Patton, the Bureau of Rolls and Library, De- 
partment of State, Washington, D.C., the various State societies 
of the Sons of the Revolution, the Society of Colonial Wars in 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Society of 
Colonial Dames of America, and kindred organizations. 

Without any attempt to present in narrative the history of 
this Society, the most important acts have been referred to chron- 
ologically to show the extent to which it has carried out the 
object for which it was founded. Located within a territory rich 
in historic associations, it has already contributed much towards 
perpetuating the memory of the men and of the events connected 
with the war for American Independence, and in preserving the 
few remaining landmarks of those stirring times.

Delivered at Dalles Jorge, IPa., June 18, 189S. 



Gentlemen of the Sons of the Revolution : 

I FEEL that I owe you somewhat of an apology for arising in 
this presence, and with these surroundings, without having 

made more formal preparation. I am led to the effort, how- 
ever, because the story of Valley Forge has been fully written, 
and has been eloquently spoken, so that upon an occasion of this 
character nothing more will be expected from me than a modest 
contribution, and because I feel that the importance of the few 
facts which I shall have to present to you will more than compen- 
sate for any lack of vigor in expression. 

Valley Forge lies in a classic region. Across yonder hills 
was born Anthony Wayne, whose capture of Stony Point was the 
brilliant achievement of the Revolutionary Army, and who, later, 
in command of all the armies of the United States, won for us 
the great territory of the Northwest, from which were created the 
populous and powerful States which now exist in that section of 
the country. 

Five miles away in another direction was born Peter Muhlen- 
berg, a major-general in the Revolutionary Army, whose statue 
in the Capitol at Washington represents the military achievements 
of Pennsylvania. 

The road over which you have just marched was laid out in 
1724, from Philadelphia to Moore Hall, the seat of William 

451 



452 Dalles jforge. 



Moore, colonel of a regiment in the French and Indian War, 
President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Chester 
County for forty years, and a heroic figure in the political life of 
the province. 

The high-water mark of the Rebellion was at the Bloody 
Angle on Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg ; the high-water mark 
of the British invasion during the Revolutionary War was at the 
Fountain Inn tavern, four miles above us in the town of Phoenix- 
ville. In front of you, from Gordon's Ford to Fatland Ford, the 
British army forced the passage of the Schuylkill at the time of 
the capture of Philadelphia. 

At the mouth of the Perkiomen, on the opposite side of the 
Schuylkill, was fought the only naval engagement which ever 
occurred upon that river, and later Audubon, the naturalist, 
hunted for birds along the same stream, and there made his home. 

Almost within sight of us lies the rural and Pennsylvania 
Dutch village of the Trappe, with a population, it may be, of four 
hundred people, whose houses are stretched on each side of the 
pike. In that village there lived the founder of one of the most 
important of the American churches. In it were born a major- 
general in the Revolutionary Army and a United States Senator; 
the president of the first American Congress under the Constitu- 
tion ; one of the most noted of American botanists, whose labors 
and writings have met with approval over the world ; a colonel 
in the war of 1812 and an adjutant-general and attorney-general 
of Wisconsin ; a governor of the State of Pennsylvania ; a presi- 
dent of Girard College ; an auditor-general of the State of Penn- 
sylvania; a congressman and two state senators. In it there 
lived the ancestors of the Todds of Kentucky, and the maternal 
ancestors of General Grant, besides another general of the Revo- 
lutionary Army. I challenge any community in this broad land, 
from Maine to Texas, to show that with the same population they 
have produced an equal number of people of like distinction in 
public life. 

Much as the history of Valley Forge has been examined and 
studied, heretofore that investigation has never been able to dis- 
cover an original and authentic plan of the encampment as it was 



Dalles fforoe. 453 



during the Revolutionary War. When Jared Sparks, the his- 
torian, in the early part of this century, was preparing for publi- 
cation the letters of George Washington, he was confronted with 
the need of such a plan. Under the auspices of John Armstrong, 
who was then Secretary of War, a man named John Davis, who 
as a youth had lived on the site of the encampment, but who was 
then an old man, gave his recollections as specifically as he could, 
and from such data a map was prepared which was inserted in 
those volumes. The original is now at Cornell University, in the 
State of New York, They have there another plan which the 
librarian writes to me is a copy of one found among the papers 
of Sparks. In 1828, Sparks had had access to the letters and 
papers of Lafayette, and this copy is supposed to be a copy of a 
plan which was in the possession of Lafayette ; but an examina- 
tion of it shows that it was not made from original surveys, for 
there is written upon it in French the statement that the lines as 
they there appear are not in their due places, but ought to be ex- 
tended further out to the front, and that a bend in the river is not 
disclosed. Now it so happens that within the last year I secured 
from Amsterdam a set of most important military maps of the 
Revolutionary period, consisting of originals drawn at the time by 
a French engineer, who was with the Continental army. Among 
them are plans of the Battle of Trenton, of West Point, of New- 
port, Rhode Island, of New York, of the Battle of Yorktown, of 
Charleston, and last, and of the most interest to us, a plan of 
the encampment at Valley Forge.* After considering what 
would be the best way of calling the attention of scholars to 
this important contribution to the history of the Revolutionary 
War, I could think of none better than to present it upon this 
occasion, before the Sons of the Revolution, and to let it appear 
in the forthcoming volume which you are about to publish. This 



* This map shows what was not before known, that the Carolina troops were 
encamped on the north side of the valley creek in Chester County ; and that head- 
quarters, before Washington occupied the Potts house, were not, as has been alleged, 
in a marque6 tent, but were at the house in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, 
then owned by James Davis, and subsequently by Dr. William Harris and by Dr. J. R. 
Walker.

demonstration will not be without permanent importance, since 
you have the assurance that in the manner just described you 
have added something whose historical value cannot be overesti- 
mated to the records of the event you celebrate. 

The antithesis of Valley Forge is the fete given by the British 
troops in the city of Philadelphia, called " The Mischianza." 
That incomparable orator, Henry Armitt Brown, in his magnifi- 
cent oration, to which probably some of you listened, when he 
depicted the clouds which darkened over Valley Forge, threw the 
sunlight upon the lawn of Joseph Wharton in the city of Phila- 
delphia. Novelists have been attracted by the same theme. The 
earliest effort of this kind, " Meredith ; or, the Mystery of the 
Mischianza," by Dr. James McHenry, appeared in Philadelphia 
in 183 1, and possessed decided literary merit. The next was 
" The Quaker Soldier," by Colonel J. Richter Jones, in 185 1, and 
then came " Pemberton," by Henry Peterson, in 1873, and last, 
that great book, " Hugh Wynne," of which we are all proud, 
written by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell during the past year, which has 
called increased attention to Pennsylvania literature all over the 
world. 

None of the investigators or writers upon these topics have 
been able to give to us the music to which the well dressed and 
highly cultivated ladies of Philadelphia, and Andre and the offi- 
cers of the British army who were there as knights, danced at 
the Mischianza. But, though out of sight, it was not utterly 
lost. A happy chance preserved it and favors us. Those dances 
were dedicated to the wives of the favorite colonels, and they bore 
the names of the victories which the British army had won, such 
as " Flatbush," at Long Island, and " Brandywine." From that 
time down to the present that music has never been heard, and 
now, upon this occasion, this audience will, for the first time in 
one hundred and twenty years, and long after the last of the 
Knights of the Blended Rose is in his grave, listen to the music 
of the country dance of " Brandywine." Your band will play it. 

(The band then played " Brandywine/' which was enthusiasti- 
cally received.)

Dalles fforge. 455 



There were other contrasts presented at Valley Forge. In 
February of 1778, late one afternoon, an officer in the army, fan- 
cying that one of his fellows had given him some insult, chal- 
lenged his antagonist to a duel. The combat occurred the next 
morning, and that night the officer was buried on the outskirts of 
the camp. William McFee, one of the chaplains, upon the next 
Sunday, preached a sermon upon the evils of duelling. The 
names of the officer and his opponent, so far as I know, are lost 
in obscurity, but the sermon is still preserved. 

Benedict Arnold, later in the season, at the home of Mistress 
Rossiter, where he had been taken with three wounds after the 
battle of Saratoga, gave a feast. It may have been somewhat like 
that of which you are to partake to-day. There were twenty-one 
officers present. Among them were Wayne, Lafayette, Greene, 
Knox, and Colonel Clement Biddle. 

Later in 1778, about the 14th of December, another fact 
occurred to which I have never seen attention called. The army 
of General Burgoyne, captured in New York, and which it was 
thought desirable to remove to Winchester, in Virginia, were 
marched across the country, over Sullivan's bridge, then still 
standing a few hundred yards below this encampment, and 
brought up to the huts which the American army had left, and 
were there quartered. Think of the contrast the scene presented, 
and imagine the sensations of the proud officers of that army 
compelled to occupy the abandoned huts of the ragged Conti- 
nentals. 

And now, what is the moral of Valley Forge ? Why is it that 
this camp, where no battle was fought, and where no startling and 
momentous events occurred, has been fixed forever in the memo- 
ries of men ? Have you ever thought that, while true it is that 
the great Virginian was born along the banks of the Potomac, 
substantially the whole of his career was run in the State of Penn- 
sylvania, and of what were the reasons for this fact? He first 
attracted attention at the battle of Great Meadows, in 1754; he 
won his early reputation at the defeat of Braddock, in 1755 ; he 
was a member of the Congress of 1774, which met in Carpenters' 
Hall; on the 15th of June, 1775, in Independence Hall, he was 



456 Dalles fOVQC, 



made the commander-in-chief of the armies of the colonies. 
Save Long Island, which was a defeat, and Yorktown, where 
he was aided by the French fleet, and where it was a question 
whether the victory was won by the sailors of the French navy 
or the soldiers of the American army, all of his battles were 
fought around Philadelphia, at Germantown, Brandywine, Tren- 
ton, Princeton, and Monmouth. 

During his career subsequent to the war, as President of the 
Constitutional Convention of 1787, and as President of the United 
States through two terms, he lived, with the exception of a few 
months, in the city of Philadelphia. 

Let me read to you an extract from the oration delivered by 
David Ramsay, the celebrated contemporary historian, upon the 
death of George Washington, wherein he describes the General 
at the battle of Trenton : 

" In the latter end of November the British commanders, in- 
stead of retiring into winter quarters, after driving the Americans 
from the State of New York, pursued them into New Jersey, with 
a fair prospect of annihilating their whole force. The moment 
was critical. Dangers and difficulties pressed on all sides. On 
the 1 6th of November twenty-seven hundred of the American 
army were taken prisoners in Fort Washington. In fourteen days 
after that event the flying camp, amounting to ten thousand men, 
having served out their time, claimed their discharge. Other 
whole regiments on similar grounds did the same. The few that 
remained with General Washington scarcely exceeded three thou- 
sand, and they were in the most forlorn condition, without tents 
or blankets, or any utensils to dress their provisions. ... In this 
period, when the American army was relinquishing their general, 
and the people giving up the cause, some of their leaders going 
over to the enemy, and the British commanders succeeding in 
every enterprise. General Washington did not despair. He slowly 
retreated before the advancing foe, and determined to fall back to 
Pennsylvania, to Augusta County in Virginia, and, if necessary, 
to the westward of yonder mountains, where he was resolved in 
the last extremity to renew the struggle for the independence of 
his country. While his unconquered mind was brooding on these 



Dalley jforge. 457 



ideas, fifteen hundred of the Pennsylvania militia joined him. 
With this small increase of force, he formed the bold resolution 
of recrossing the Delaware and attacking that part of the enemy 
which was posted in Trenton. Heaven smiled on the enterprise. 
On the 26th of December nine hundred Hessians were killed, 
wounded, or taken prisoners. This bold enterprise was in eight 
days after followed by another, which was planned with great 
address. General Washington, with his whole army, stole away 
under the cover of the night from the vicinity of a force far supe- 
rior to his own, and, attacking in their rear a detachment of the 
British posted in Princeton, three hundred were taken prisoners 
and about one hundred killed and wounded. These two victories 
revived the drooping spirits of the Americans, and seemed, under 
Providence, to have been the means of their political salvation." 

In other words, when this fateful crisis occurred, and when 
Washington, with all of his military capacity, had no means to 
suggest with which to meet it except retreat beyond the Alle- 
gheny Mountains, fifteen hundred men came to the rescue, and 
with that addition to his forces the tide was turned, and the 
liberty of the American people was secured. What you Sons of 
the Revolution ought ever to remember is that every one of those 
fifteen hundred men was a Pennsylvanian. 

The mercurial and the excitable who enter readily into serious 
contests rarely have those sterner and stronger qualities which 
are necessary for success in important warfare. A Peter the 
Hermit may begin a Crusade, but it requires the doughty skill of 
a Godfrey of Boulogne and a Richard Cceur-de-Lion to carry it 
to the end. The revolutions that start with a Mirabeau close
